'방북' 이틀째 펠트먼 유엔 사무차장, 北 외무성 부상 면담
Over in Pyongyang, the visiting senior UN official met with the regime's vice foreign minister.
The details remain vague, but Washington hinted the envoy was not carrying a message from America.
Kwon Jang-ho has more from the high level talks.
Jeffrey Feltman, the UN's Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, has started meeting with North Korean officials in Pyongyang.
According to the Associated Press and Japan's Kyodo News on Wednesday, he met with the vice-foreign minister, Pak Myong-guk,... but so far there are no details of what they discussed.
A UN spokesperson said on Monday that the under-secretary would also be meeting with foreign minister Ri Yong-ho during his 4-day trip, and that there would be, quote, "wide-ranging discussions."
It's the first trip to the regime by a senior UN official in 6 years, and there had been hope that this represents a chance of more significant dialogue with the regime in the future,... especially after Pyongyang greenlit the meeting shortly after their latest missile provocation last week.
However, Washington has distanced itself from the visit.
U.S. StateDepartment spokesperson, Heather Nauert, said on Tuesday that it is aware of Feltman's trip, and although he is a U.S. citizen, he is not travelling on behalf of the U.S. government and was not travelling with any kind of message from the U.S. government.
She also stressed that although the U.S. remains open to talks with Pyongyang, talks can only happen IF the regime show serious intent towards denuclearization, and that so far they have not shown that.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Defense on Tuesday rebuffed claims that family members of U.S. troops in South Korea should be moved out.
Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator from South Carolina, said last Sunday that it's, quote, "crazy to send spouses and children to South Korea, given the provocation of North Korea."
But a Pentagon spokesperson told Seoul's Yonhap News that there are no plans to modify the current policy on military dependents, and that ensuring their safety and welfare is a key element to the South Korea-U.S. alliance.
He added that the U.S. has many contingency plans in place all over the world to keep its military families safe.

Before becoming Ambassador to Lebanon, Feltman volunteered to serve at the Coalition Provisional Authority office in Irbil, Iraq, from January to April 2004. Prior to his work in Iraq, he was at the U.S. Consulate General in Jerusalem, where he served first as Deputy (August 2001-November 2002) and then as Acting Principal Officer (November 2002 to December 2003).

He joined the U.S. Foreign Service in 1986, serving his first tour as consular officer in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He has spent much of his career dealing with Eastern Europe and the Near East. He served in Embassy Tel Aviv as Ambassador Martin Indyk's Special Assistant on Peace Process issues (2000–2001). Before that, from 1998–2000, Feltman served as Chief of the Political and Economic Section at the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia. He served in the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv from 1995 to 1998, covering economic issues in the Gaza Strip.

Political Affairs (magazine)

Political Affairs Magazine was a monthly, online Marxist publication. It aims to provide an analysis of events from a working class point of view. The magazine is a publication of the Communist Party USA and was founded in 1944 upon the closure of its predecessor, The Communist, which was founded in 1924. Well-known editors of Political Affairs Magazine include Gus Hall, Hyman Lumer, Herbert Aptheker, Gerald Horne, and Joe Sims. Sims continues as publisher.

History

At its founding, Political Affairs was the theoretical organ of the Communist Party, USA, generally publishing articles intended almost exclusively for members of the Communist Party. In the late 1990s, that role changed, and Political Affairs shed its role as an internal organ of the Communist Party and adopted a broader stance.

It provides Marxist perspectives on many contemporary issues and engages in theoretical discussions relevant to Marxists and the labor movement. In addition to articles devoted to national and international politics, the magazine offers poetry, book reviews, occasional reviews of music and film, interviews, and occasional short stories.

United Nations

The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization to promote international co-operation. A replacement for the ineffective League of Nations, the organization was established on 24 October 1945 after World War II in order to prevent another such conflict. At its founding, the UN had 51 member states; there are now 193. The headquarters of the United Nations is in Manhattan, New York City, and experiences extraterritoriality. Further main offices are situated in Geneva, Nairobi and Vienna. The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict.

During the Second World War, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt initiated talks on a successor agency to the League of Nations, and the United Nations Charter was drafted at a conference in April–June 1945; this charter took effect 24 October 1945, and the UN began operation. The UN's mission to preserve world peace was complicated in its early decades by the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union and their respective allies. The organization participated in major actions in Korea and the Congo, as well as approving the creation of the state of Israel in 1947. The organization's membership grew significantly following widespread decolonization in the 1960s, and by the 1970s its budget for economic and social development programmes far outstripped its spending on peacekeeping. After the end of the Cold War, the UN took on major military and peacekeeping missions across the world with varying degrees of success.

The united nations’ under-secretary general Jeffrey Feltman arrived in the gambia

Earlier today, UN Under-Secretary-General for Political AffairsJeffrey Feltman briefed the Security Council concerning the Iranian nuclear issue. In his remarks, Mr. Feltman highlighted the “steady” progress and cooperation, since the international community embarked on implementing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on 16 January 2016. Mr. Feltman also called for the world’s sustained political will to facilitate the implementation, with the aim of ensuring that Iran’s nuclear programmes are “exclusively peaceful” in nature. http://bit.ly/2jAzj6G

ICP Asks UN of Feltman Summoned to Benghazi Com'te Dec 8, Is Told "Ask US"
By Matthew Russell Lee, Exclusive series
UNITED NATIONS, December 4 -- Three days after Inner City Press asked the UN why its Under Secretary General for Political AffairsJeffrey Feltman forwarded other UN officials' emails to his former colleagues at the US State Department months after he moved to the UN, US sources tell Inner City Press Feltman is slated to head to Washington on December 8.
In October in the HouseSelect Committee on the Events Surrounding the 2012TerroristAttack in Benghazi, it was noted that the Committee had none of Feltman's emails. After sources told Inner City Press Feltman will appear before the Committee on December 8, Inner City Press on December 4 asked UN Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq to confirm or deny it.
Haq declined to confirm, telling Inner City Press to ask the US. But what if Feltman used UN lawyers to respond? And as shown, Feltman after working at the UN continued to forward emails, including other UN officials' emails, to the US State Department.
Inner City Press now asks, will Feltman be under oath on December 8? Watch this site.
This takes place amid unanswered Press questions about Feltman's and Ban's knowledge of Bernardino Leon, while UN Envoy to Libya, negotiating a $500,000 a year job with the United Arab Emirates, a player to say the least in Libya. We'll have more on this.
On November 30 among the 5,109Hillary Clinton emails released by the US State Department was one from October 2012 from Jeffrey Feltman, then already ostensibly with and for the UN, to Jake Sullivan about Lebanon.
Feltman forwarded the US State Department a copy of his own email to “his guy” in Lebanon, British UN official Derek Plumbly and asks for US advice on whom he should call.
Inner City Press on March 28, 2012 first reported that Feltman would take over UN Department of Political Affairs from fellow AmericanB. Lynn Pascoe, and asked if it was wise, to whom would Feltman be loyal. Now the question arises: why was Feltman still in October 2012, after starting with the UN on July 2, 2012, forwarding his emails to the US State Department?
On December 1, 2014, Inner City Press asked UN Spokesman Stephane Dujarric, transcript here:
Inner City Press: about Mr. Feltman, yesterday, as happens monthly, there was a release of… of e-mails by the US State Department. And without getting into all the… all 5,000 of the e-mails, I wanted to ask about the ones that involve Mr. Feltman, specifically in the time frame after he left the State Department and came to the UN. So, there’s an e-mail in 19 October 2012. This is months after he was at the UN, in which he forwards to Jake Sullivan and others in the State Department his communications with Derek Plumbly about Lebanon. And he says, “Here’s my communications with my guy in Lebanon”, redacted, redacted, redacted, “please tell me what you think and advise.” And I guess I wanted to ask you, is it… what is the… what’s the protocol for a former… of any government, not just the US, for a UN official to share what are presumably confidential UN communications with his previous employer, and how would you… how do you respond to this?
Spokesman: I think the way to look at it is that, I think, through our mediation efforts, UN officials are often in touch with Foreign Ministries or permanent missions and share our analysis. And that’s often how we get our work done. ...
On October 20, 2012, the State Department's ElizabethDibble says she spoke with Feltman; in September, Feltman told Huma Abedin he's walk on hot coals for Hillary. He offered to cancel a meeting with Esther Brimmer in order to meet with Hillary in the Waldorf -- saying he had problems responding with hotmail, that the 90s may have ended. He was not using his UN email address.
We'l have more on this.
Back on August 31 among the 4,368 Hillary Clinton emails released by the US State Department were only 17 that mention Libya. In one, forwarded by Feltman, a Qaddafi staffer was angry at P.J. Crowley's failure to apologize, here.
(In another just released email, Feltman bragged how his interview with An-Nahar pushed Nasrallah out of the news, "HBJ" loved it, here.)

ICP Asks UN of Feltman Summoned to Benghazi Com'te Dec 8, Is Told "Ask US"
By Matthew Russell Lee, Exclusive series
UNITED NATIONS, December 4 -- Three days after Inner City Press asked the UN why its Under Secretary General for Political AffairsJeffrey Feltman forwarded other UN officials' emails to his former colleagues at the US State Department months after he moved to the UN, US sources tell Inner City Press Feltman is slated to head to Washington on December 8.
In October in the HouseSelect Committee on the Events Surrounding the 2012TerroristAttack in Benghazi, it was noted that the Committee had none of Feltman's emails. After sources told Inner City Press Feltman will appear before the Committee on December 8, Inner City Press on December 4 asked UN Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq to confirm or deny it.
Haq declined to confirm, telling Inner City Press to ask the US. But what if Feltman used UN lawyers to respond? And as shown, Feltman after working at the UN continued to forward emails, including other UN officials' emails, to the US State Department.
Inner City Press now asks, will Feltman be under oath on December 8? Watch this site.
This takes place amid unanswered Press questions about Feltman's and Ban's knowledge of Bernardino Leon, while UN Envoy to Libya, negotiating a $500,000 a year job with the United Arab Emirates, a player to say the least in Libya. We'll have more on this.
On November 30 among the 5,109Hillary Clinton emails released by the US State Department was one from October 2012 from Jeffrey Feltman, then already ostensibly with and for the UN, to Jake Sullivan about Lebanon.
Feltman forwarded the US State Department a copy of his own email to “his guy” in Lebanon, British UN official Derek Plumbly and asks for US advice on whom he should call.
Inner City Press on March 28, 2012 first reported that Feltman would take over UN Department of Political Affairs from fellow AmericanB. Lynn Pascoe, and asked if it was wise, to whom would Feltman be loyal. Now the question arises: why was Feltman still in October 2012, after starting with the UN on July 2, 2012, forwarding his emails to the US State Department?

Jeffrey Feltman, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs on West African issues - APA

Earlier today, UN Under-Secretary-General for Political AffairsJeffrey Feltman briefed the Security Council concerning the Iranian nuclear issue. In his remarks, Mr. Feltman highlighted the “steady” progress and cooperation, since the international community embarked on implementing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on 16 January 2016. Mr. Feltman also called for the world’s sustained political will to facilitate the implementation, with the aim of ensuring that Iran’s nuclear programmes are “exclusively peaceful” in nature. http://bit.ly/2jAzj6G

On Nuland & Feltman, UN Tells ICP It Might Be a ThirdJeff, Or Geoff Pyatt
By Matthew Russell Lee http://www.innercitypress.com/usfelt3ukrfsa020714.html
UNITED NATIONS, February 7 -- The leaked audio of the US State Department's Victoria Nuland about Ukraine, best known for her "f*ck the EU" comment, continues to reveal more and more regarding relations between the US Administration and the United Nations, at least former US official Jeffrey Feltman.
In the clip, http://youtu.be/MSxaa-67yGM?t=2m38s Nuland told US official Geoff Pyatt that Jeff Feltman "got Serry and Ban Ki-moon to agree that Serry can come in Monday or Tuesday" to Ukraine.
On February 7 Inner City Press asked UN deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq if as described Jeff Feltman "got" Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to sent Serry to Ukraine.
While saying he would not comment on others' leaked conversations, Haq then told Inner City Press he (and presumably the UN) is not convinced Nuland was referring to Feltman or rather "another Jeff" (or Geoff).
Inner City Press, after intervening questions trying in essence to bolster the UN's position, by the United Nations Correspondents Association president PamelaFalk of CBS who also praised Ban Ki-moon during the briefing, asked Haq if he was really positing a THIRD Jeff / Geoff who "gets" Ban Ki-moon to do things.
Earlier today Inner City Press reviewed how the Nuland leak was covered, by Reuters http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSBREA151QL20140207?irpc=932 and (better) by Gawker. http://gawker.com/american-diplomat-caught-on-tape-saying-fuck-the-eu-1517871534
Reuters managed to not even MENTION Feltman in its long story about the leaked audio.
Despite that, or because of it, UN spokesperson Haq gave the first, tone-setting question about the Nuland audio to Reuters' UN bureau chief.
Gawker to its credit ran a transcript, but calls the apparently little known Feltman "Felton."
Inner City Press first reported in March 2012 that Feltman would switch from being a US Assistant Secretary of State to UN Under Secretary General for Political Affairs. The US essentially owns this UN position (US Lynn Pascoe was Feltman's predecessor), just as France owns UN Peacekeeping through Herve Ladsous and three other Frenchmen in a row before him. The UK for now has Humanitarian Affairs, twice in a row.)
As Inner City Press first highlighted yesterday evening, at Minute 2:40 of the leaked audio Nuland says she spoke to Feltman and "he's now gotten both Serry and Ban Ki-moon to agree that Serry could come in Monday or Tuesday" and "have the UN glue this thing, f*ck the EU."
Significant here, particularly given Feltman's previous position with the US government, is that Ban, ostensibly Feltman's boss, apparently didn't tell Feltman what to do. Rather, Feltman "got" Ban Ki-moon to agree to something that was pleasing to the US, to help the US "f*ck the EU."
The Reuters piece is typical of its UN coverage, just as for example it delayed six days in reporting on a UN finding that the US (and UK and French) favored Free Syrian Army recruits and uses child soldiers, until the last Geneva Two talks were over. (Click here for that.)
Reuters UN bureau chief has even essentially spied for the UN, giving a UN media accreditation official an internal UN Correspondents Association anti Press document three minutes after promising not to. http://www.innercitypress.com/dpiunca1collude062413.html
Another Reuters filing to this same official has been banned from Google's Search after a cynical use of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act by the Reuters bureau chief. http://www.innercitypress.com/reuters3dmcabuse010214.html
Click here for that, from the Electronic Frontier Foundation's ChillingEffects.org. http://www.chillingeffects.org/notice.cgi?sID=1117933
The US State Department and Mission, despite Inner City Press' written questions to the latter since January 30 for an explanation of how the US can support the Free Syrian Army now that it is named in the UN report Inner City Press first quoted on January 29 as a recruiter and user of child soldiers, has not answered, despite the terms of the US Child SoldiersPrevention Act of 2008.
When AmbassadorSamantha Power spoke about Syria at the UN on February 6, only two questions were taken: Al Jazeera and Al Hurra, on whose Broadcasting Board of GovernorsJohn Kerry serves.
Nor has a simple question been answered about why the proposed replacement for UN Reform Ambassador Joe Torsella, LeslieBerger Kiernam, had her name "withdrawn." So we are less than confident that the US will explain the dynamic between the State Department and Feltman as reflect in Nuland's leaked audio. Perhaps the UN or Feltman -- or even Serry -- will explain. Watch this site.

U.S.-Iraq Relations After the Withdrawal

The Middle EastInstitute is proud to host Amb. Jeffrey Feltman, Amb. Feisal Istrabadi, and Daniel Serwer for a discussion about the state of U.S.-Iraqi relations in the wake of the U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq in December 2011. Panelists will explore both the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition of the U.S.-Iraqi partnership from a mainly military to a diplomatic one. What sort of working relationship is emerging between the U.S. and Iraqi governments? What kind of cooperation is taking place in the areas of domestic and regional security, diplomacy, trade, energy, and reform? How has the troop drawdown affected U.S. influence in Iraq and the region in general? Feltman, Istrabadi and Serwer will explore strategies and policies resulting from the new bilateral dynami...

Featuring:
Dr. Salam Fayyad, former prime minister, Palestinian Authority and distinguished statesman, the Atlantic CouncilAmbassadorJeffrey Feltman Under-Secretary General for Political Affairs, The United Nations
In conversation with:
Walter Isaacson, president and CEO, the Aspen Institute
The discussion assesses the current avenues for re-engagement and the roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders in the wake of the Gaza conflict and in the context of the broader strategic landscape of the region. The conversation touches on not only the short term issues such as relief and recovery, but also the broader landscape for moving beyond a ceasefire to a lasting framework for stability that recognizes the ceasefire as an opportunity, not a certainty. This conversation engages all the stakeholders to move beyond the immediacy of the ceasefire to the broader concerns of relief, recovery, and redevelopment with attention to the critical security needs of Egypt, Israel, and Jordan, and the importance of building a pathway for pluralism.
Key questions for discussion include:
Who will govern Gaza?
How do you create a viable institutional framework for governance in Gaza under the Palestinian Authority?
What is an appropriate role for the international community in the short, medium, and long term regarding relief, recovery, and redevelopment?
How do you incentivize the private sector to engage in this evolving landscape?
What are the roles and responsibilities of regional players, such as Egypt, Jordan, and Turkey?
Please join us for a discussion on the challenges on the pathway to peace in the current strategic landscape, and the potential to build a pathway to pluralism despite the shifting sands in the region.

Senior UN official meets with North Korea's Vice-foreign minister in Pyongyang

Senior UN official meets with North Korea's Vice-foreign minister in Pyongyang

'방북' 이틀째 펠트먼 유엔 사무차장, 北 외무성 부상 면담
Over in Pyongyang, the visiting senior UN official met with the regime's vice foreign minister.
The details remain vague, but Washington hinted the envoy was not carrying a message from America.
Kwon Jang-ho has more from the high level talks.
Jeffrey Feltman, the UN's Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, has started meeting with North Korean officials in Pyongyang.
According to the Associated Press and Japan's Kyodo News on Wednesday, he met with the vice-foreign minister, Pak Myong-guk,... but so far there are no details of what they discussed.
A UN spokesperson said on Monday that the under-secretary would also be meeting with foreign minister Ri Yong-ho during his 4-day trip, and that there would be, quote, "wide-ranging discussions."
It's the first trip to the regime by a senior UN official in 6 years, and there had been hope that this represents a chance of more significant dialogue with the regime in the future,... especially after Pyongyang greenlit the meeting shortly after their latest missile provocation last week.
However, Washington has distanced itself from the visit.
U.S. StateDepartment spokesperson, Heather Nauert, said on Tuesday that it is aware of Feltman's trip, and although he is a U.S. citizen, he is not travelling on behalf of the U.S. government and was not travelling with any kind of message from the U.S. government.
She also stressed that although the U.S. remains open to talks with Pyongyang, talks can only happen IF the regime show serious intent towards denuclearization, and that so far they have not shown that.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Defense on Tuesday rebuffed claims that family members of U.S. troops in South Korea should be moved out.
Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator from South Carolina, said last Sunday that it's, quote, "crazy to send spouses and children to South Korea, given the provocation of North Korea."
But a Pentagon spokesperson told Seoul's Yonhap News that there are no plans to modify the current policy on military dependents, and that ensuring their safety and welfare is a key element to the South Korea-U.S. alliance.
He added that the U.S. has many contingency plans in place all over the world to keep its military families safe.

ICP Asks UN of Feltman Summoned to Benghazi Com'te Dec 8, Is Told "Ask US"
By Matthew Russell Lee, Exclusive series
UNITED NATIONS, December 4 -- Three days after Inner City Press asked the UN why its Under Secretary General for Political AffairsJeffrey Feltman forwarded other UN officials' emails to his former colleagues at the US State Department months after he moved to the UN, US sources tell Inner City Press Feltman is slated to head to Washington on December 8.
In October in the HouseSelect Committee on the Events Surrounding the 2012TerroristAttack in Benghazi, it was noted that the Committee had none of Feltman's emails. After sources told Inner City Press Feltman will appear before the Committee on December 8, Inner City Press on December 4 asked UN Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq to confirm or deny it.
Haq declined to confirm, telling Inner City Press to ask the US. But what if Feltman used UN lawyers to respond? And as shown, Feltman after working at the UN continued to forward emails, including other UN officials' emails, to the US State Department.
Inner City Press now asks, will Feltman be under oath on December 8? Watch this site.
This takes place amid unanswered Press questions about Feltman's and Ban's knowledge of Bernardino Leon, while UN Envoy to Libya, negotiating a $500,000 a year job with the United Arab Emirates, a player to say the least in Libya. We'll have more on this.
On November 30 among the 5,109Hillary Clinton emails released by the US State Department was one from October 2012 from Jeffrey Feltman, then already ostensibly with and for the UN, to Jake Sullivan about Lebanon.
Feltman forwarded the US State Department a copy of his own email to “his guy” in Lebanon, British UN official Derek Plumbly and asks for US advice on whom he should call.
Inner City Press on March 28, 2012 first reported that Feltman would take over UN Department of Political Affairs from fellow AmericanB. Lynn Pascoe, and asked if it was wise, to whom would Feltman be loyal. Now the question arises: why was Feltman still in October 2012, after starting with the UN on July 2, 2012, forwarding his emails to the US State Department?
On December 1, 2014, Inner City Press asked UN Spokesman Stephane Dujarric, transcript here:
Inner City Press: about Mr. Feltman, yesterday, as happens monthly, there was a release of… of e-mails by the US State Department. And without getting into all the… all 5,000 of the e-mails, I wanted to ask about the ones that involve Mr. Feltman, specifically in the time frame after he left the State Department and came to the UN. So, there’s an e-mail in 19 October 2012. This is months after he was at the UN, in which he forwards to Jake Sullivan and others in the State Department his communications with Derek Plumbly about Lebanon. And he says, “Here’s my communications with my guy in Lebanon”, redacted, redacted, redacted, “please tell me what you think and advise.” And I guess I wanted to ask you, is it… what is the… what’s the protocol for a former… of any government, not just the US, for a UN official to share what are presumably confidential UN communications with his previous employer, and how would you… how do you respond to this?
Spokesman: I think the way to look at it is that, I think, through our mediation efforts, UN officials are often in touch with Foreign Ministries or permanent missions and share our analysis. And that’s often how we get our work done. ...
On October 20, 2012, the State Department's ElizabethDibble says she spoke with Feltman; in September, Feltman told Huma Abedin he's walk on hot coals for Hillary. He offered to cancel a meeting with Esther Brimmer in order to meet with Hillary in the Waldorf -- saying he had problems responding with hotmail, that the 90s may have ended. He was not using his UN email address.
We'l have more on this.
Back on August 31 among the 4,368 Hillary Clinton emails released by the US State Department were only 17 that mention Libya. In one, forwarded by Feltman, a Qaddafi staffer was angry at P.J. Crowley's failure to apologize, here.
(In another just released email, Feltman bragged how his interview with An-Nahar pushed Nasrallah out of the news, "HBJ" loved it, here.)
